France
Napoleon I. First Empire (1804-14). Imperial Post bronze Medal 1809 MS64 Brown NGC, Bramsen-923, Julius-2219. 35mm. A deeply-rendered medal of chocolate brown color, charming not just for its crisp devices or neo-Classical imagery but also for its curious octagonal shape, which gives an unconventional and attractive quirk to an already handsome piece. A seldom seen offering of the Napoleonic series.
